SmartCover on MacBook Pro 2019 16" Core i9 1TB $3899 ($500 off RRP) Free Pick-up or + Delivery @ Umart

Except that they wouldn’t sell it. So you would be forced to use macOS. Which ensures that isn’t a big issue for intel and amd.

fidelio on [Pre Order] EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti XC GDDR6 $709 + Delivery ($0 in WA /VIC) Redeem The Falconeer @ PLE Computers

It is, but not many 3070s are selling at that price, plus the FTW3 can overclock to almost the performance of a 3070. Definitely a toss up.

So you got it at a discount of 35%, wouldn’t it also be fair to compare the value assuming just as good a sale on the 3060 ti? Therefore...
